Jesse James

歌詞

Jesse James was a lad that had killed many a man He robbed the Danville train But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard Has laid poor Jesse James in his grave It was Robert Ford, the dirty little coward I wonder how he does feel For he ate o' Jesse's bread and slept in Jesse's bed Then laid poor Jesse in his grave Jesse had a wife to morn for his life And three children, they were brave But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Joward Has laid ol' Jesse in his grave Jesse was a man, a friend to the poor He never see man suffer pain And with his brother Frank he robbed the Chicago bank And he stopped the Glendale train They went to the crossing, not far from there And there they did the same With the agent on his knees delivered up the keys To the outlaws, Frank an' Jesse James Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life Three children, they were brave But that dirty lettle coward that shot Mr. Joward Has laid poor Jesse in his grave It was on a Wednesday night, and the moon was shining bright They robbed the Glendale train The people, did say for many miles away It was robbed by Frank an' Jesse James The people held their breath when they heard of Jesse's death And wondered how he came to die It was one of the gang called little Robert Ford An' he shot poor Jesse on the sly Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life And three children, they were brave But the dirty lettle coward that shot Mr. Joward Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
